This is a fantastic outdoor sofa, for the price. It's difficult to find a deep outdoor sofa that seats 3 at a reasonable price point. My only complaint is that the back cushions do not have ties. The lack of ties means the back cushions have no way to mount to the back metal frame - if there is any wind at all, the back cushions will fall over/blow off of the sofa. My sofa sits on a large covered back patio. I'm not quite sure this sofa would work on an open outdoor space without somehow affixing the back cushions.
